When looking for homes for sale in Arcadia, you’ll find a wide variety of architectural styles, from sprawling, 4- to 5-bedroom ranches built in the postwar era to revivals and pueblo-style homes dating to the late 1920s and early ’30s. There are quite a few new homes for sale; where older homes are torn down in favor of starting fresh, the builder typically remains true to the unique architectural character of the area. There are plenty of swimming pools, and many homes have guest houses.
Lots are typically at least a half acre, and are often much larger, with lush, green lawns and well-manicured landscaping, predominantly of brightly colored (and privacy-giving) oleander hedges, swaying palms, and the citrus trees that made Arcadia what it is today.
This desert oasis of beautifully landscaped Phoenix homes was named for Virgil’s Arcadia: a peaceful, pastoral region of ancient Greece. In the early 1920s, the land to the south of majestic Camelback Mountain went up for sale at 35 cents an acre. It was mostly sold in 5-acre parcels as citrus orchards—that is, after the Arcadia Water Company began irrigating. Today, Arcadia residents enjoy a well-meshed neighborhood of spacious, architecturally interesting homes and the lush remnants of the area’s rural past.
Arcadia neighborhood straddles Phoenix and Scottsdale and is a premier area in which to live and raise a family. Some of the best public schools in Arizona are in the Arcadia neighborhood. In fact, Money Magazine recently named Arcadia as the “Best Place to Live.” Most properties have wonderful views of the beautiful Camelback Mountain.
